Romania Value Creation Strategy

Alpine has created a unique set of opportunities

Key triggers are:

OMV has a 51% equity in Petrom, Romania’s largest oil and gas company with an average daily production of 200,000 BOEPD.

  • Petrom will be required by the Romanian government to relinquish over

  • 50% of its exploration acreage and some of its production holdings in the next few months.

  • This acreage holding covers over 70% of the key prospective basins of

  • Romania.

  • 50% of the exploration acreage (= 22,000 sqkm) is required for

  • relinquishment in 2008.

  • Tunisia offers infrastructure, stability, and both mature and relatively unexplored basins with considerable upside for small and medium size hydrocarbon accumulations.

  • Three major hydrocarbon provinces: � Ghadames Basin (largest field El Borma: 750MMbbl)

  • At least 5 petroleum systems ranging in age from Silurian (Ghadames Basin) to Eocene (Pelagian Basin)

Tunisia: Conclusions

� Alpine has considerable experience and strategic networks in Tunisia

Alpine is currently assessing not only exploration opportunities but also potential Brownfields and Greenfields acquisitions

  • Alpine has recently entered into a conditional agreement to

  • acquire 50% equity in a new permit in Tunisia.

18

==> picture [96 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Technical Justification

The technical justification is to acquire Alpine Oil & Gas Pty Ltd

  • Offers potential value creation for expansion beyond Cooper Basin asset area using strategic alliances to develop core exploration and production bases in two new areas: Romania and Tunisia

  • Romania and Tunisia provide the following:

  • Excellent exploration upside as the key driver to success

  • Focus & longevity

  • Greenfields production opportunities and under-performing Brownfields for incremental reserve enhancement also available

  • Reasonable fiscal regimes and political stability

  • Infrastructure and ready markets with excellent pricing for gas

  • In the event that Alpine /AuDAX successfully acquire assets, additional funds will be required to mature specific opportunities, identified by the JSBA’s

AHEAD OF COMPETITION THROUGH EXCLUSIVE DATA ACCESS

  • Unique business opportunity in 2008 through 20,000 km2 Petrom

  • relinquishment. (“Perestroika II under EU – regulation”).

  • �Plan: Fully exploit competitive advantage through possible cooperation with Petrom

  • �Approach Petrom for possible purchase or joint redevelopment of existing production licenses during or after data review

PANNONIAN BASIN: CORE AREA

  • �Large area of continuous exploration acreage with low-attention fields

  • �No source rock and hydrocarbon migration risk

  • �Very little new Petrom seismic acquisition over fields. Sparse seismic coverage.

  • �Seismic acquisition easier and cheaper than in Petrom core area.

  • �ALPINE OIL&GAS exploration & production experience in Pannonian basin.

STRATEGY (2/2)

TECHNICAL FOCUS ON STRATIGRAPHIC TRAPS & UPSIDE

�ALPINE OIL & GAS technical expertise

  • �Stratigraphic potential on flanks of existing fields

  • �ALPINE OIL&GAS technical expertise and modern seismic will make the difference!

TECHNICAL FOCUS ON BROWNFIELD EXPLORATION

  • �Better Production well locations with better seismic data & geological models

  • �By passed multiple zone gas pay which was uneconomic during Communist time

  • �Zones without natural flow were not produced � Re-entry, stimulation

  • �Modern Logging: 99% only Russian style SP & Resistivity (often faulty).

  • �Formation damage mitigation: Horizontal wells, fracture stimulation, completion
